1. Is it possible to make a script that does the following:

Whenever I write anything, it will write the message character by character with delay of 0.5 second. So example:

"Hello"   will become:

H  <0,5s> e <0,5s> l <0,5s> l <0,5s> o <0,5s>

It should write it in same message, not new line for each character.



2. Second question:

I have this script here:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
return "msg = [ " + Message + " ]"
}

---

How would I make everything except the Message some color?

You cannot have WLM send a message character by character and have it appear on the same line. This is impossible. However you can have it send the messages on different lines.

As for the other question you can use [c][/c] tags... for instance [c=4]test[/c] would be test

Oh too bad, can you post for on new line code someone?

Thank you, also I'll use the colors now.

Untested...

Javascript code:

---

var oChatWnds = {};
 
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage) {
    if (sMessage.charAt(0) !== '/' && typeof oChatWnds[pChatWnd.Handle] === 'undefined') {
        oChatWnds[pChatWnd.Handle] = {
            Message : sMessage,
            i : 0
        };
       
        MsgPlus.AddTimer(pChatWnd.Handle, 5000);
       
        return '';
    }
}
 
function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId) {
    var oChat = oChatWnds[sTimerId];
    var Message = oChatWnds[sTimerId].Message.charAt(oChatWnds[sTimerId].i);
    if (Message === '/') Message = '//';
    ++oChatWnds[sTimerId].i;
    oChat.SendMessage(Message);
    MsgPlus.AddTimer(sTimerId, 5000);
}

You might want to change the 5000 ms delay into a 500 ms delay, it'd take a really long time before the message is fully transmitted. (Typo I guess? )

Also, wouldn't the built-in flood protection prevent the script from working correctly? The counter from the amount of messages sent by the script can be reset when the user sends a message himself, but this is also prevented by the script. The user can't reset the counter because all messages are intercepted (unless of course he sends a /command).

It just doesn't seem a good idea to try this, there are too many obstacles which you can't really get around. I believe it would also be very irritating for you contacts to have to wait several seconds before they get your message.

Fixed... needed to replace ++i with ++oChatWnds[sTimerId].i

Now there an other error:

Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage
Error: Object doesn't support this property or method (code: -2146827850)

The oChat isn't actually a chat window, but just an object with Message and i properties.

Would this work?

Javascript code:

---

var oChatWnds = {};
 
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage) {
    if (sMessage.charAt(0) !== '/' && typeof oChatWnds[pChatWnd.Handle] === 'undefined') {
        oChatWnds[pChatWnd.Handle] = {
            Message : sMessage,
            i : 0,
            Wnd : pChatWnd
        };
       
        MsgPlus.AddTimer(pChatWnd.Handle, 5000);
       
        return '';
    }
}
 
function OnEvent_Timer(sTimerId) {
    var oChat = oChatWnds[sTimerId];
    var Message = oChatWnds[sTimerId].Message.charAt(oChatWnds[sTimerId].i);
    if (Message === '/') Message = '//';
    ++oChatWnds[sTimerId].i;
    oChat.Wnd.SendMessage(Message);
    MsgPlus.AddTimer(sTimerId, 5000);
}
